Ian drew this at the doctors office while Casey was getting his hand examined. Unfortunately, the doctor thinks the break may require a pin be inserted. He has to go back next week for a better x-ray under general anesthesia and, if indicated, he'll have the pins installed. Poor kid.

One tube of Smarties later and I felt much better :o)
